In the list that follows, tap System Service, and disable Location-Based iAds, Popular Near Me, and Frequent Location features. While most of these are designed to enhance your iPhone experience, disabling them would offer you a lot more battery time than you would probably expect to see.

To make the necessary changes, make your way to the Settings app, and head to General. Select Background App Refresh in the following screen, and make changes based on your liking.

You could find a dedicated section in the Settings app, where you could look up the apps that suck up more battery than others. Go to Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage.

It is best to have your apps up-to-date, and one feature that ensures that you remain updated is auto-update. Once the developers roll-out an update, the app would update itself, without you having to worry. To turn this feature on, go to the Settings app and choose iTunes & App Store. In the following screen, you should be able to enable the feature.

To do so, go to General from the Settings app, and choose Accessibility. On the following screen, enable the Reduce Motion option.

If the iPhone is troublesome when it comes to connectivity, often failing to connect to the Wi-Fi, cellular network, or the Bluetooth, going into Airplane Mode generally helps. To do so, swipe up from the bottom of your screen, and tap the airplane button. Play around for 20 seconds before tapping it again to turn it off, and normal services should have been resumed by then.

However, if the device still doesn’t function properly, you might well have to setup your Wi-Fi, or the Bluetooth connection again. Do so by making your way to General from the Settings app, and select Reset. In the following screen, tap Reset Network Settings, and you should be able to connect to wireless networks thereafter.
